This trip has been nothing short of amazing. From trying new foods to new places to new transportation I have plenty more experiences now than I ever thought possible. All of this “new” has helped me to recognize that I am very capable of adjusting to new situations and can be flexible to new environments….

Adjusting to the Area
Now that it’s October, the fall weather is in full swing. Sweaters and sunglasses are a must here in Florence! Every morning starts off brisk, but as the sun comes out, it warms up and it is bright and beautiful. The best way to see fall in action is through fashion. There’s plenty of markets…
Příští zastávka: Pittsburgh!
Over these last four weeks, I cannot even begin to count the number of times I’ve heard this phrase: příští zastávka. It means next stop in Czech, and it is always announced by the same automated voice at each stop on the tram. I rode the tram multiple times every day, and the ease and…

Week 4 – Stockholm
I’ve been really enjoying my time here in Stockholm and at work, despite a few challenges along the way. The city is incredibly clean, safe, and beautiful. In many ways, the work culture has been relatively easy to adjust to. Having more independence in my role than what I’m used to in the U.S. has…
Week 1 – Stockholm
This summer, I’m working as a UX/UI Design intern at Flexpenser AB, a cleantech startup based in Stockholm that specializes in innovative dispensing technology.
